On 10.04 LTS my little Dell D600I could use PAE-Kernels with no problems. (36-bits) . As per today it runs with the Mainline Kernel 3.10.7-031007-generic - lawlessly. Thanks to Prof7bits "Fake-PAE"
And this confirms comment #179: ... the Linux documentation states that if you can boot a PAE kernel, then your CPU has PAE. If you don't have PAE, then the kernel won't even boot. Simple as that. Don't argue wt dev's why priorize the non-PAE over the PAE. see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension#Linux . It's an non-arguable decision, even though anyone wt. a RAM > 4GiB should decide for a 64-Bit system. :-) If the Kernel naming would clearly state it's a PAE, since the other Kernel's part was removed, we would probably not need a preinst. script to drag people away Ubuntu, even from other flavours. Like Elementary-OS Well, if Intel thought they shouldn't equipe some Pentium M with a PAE flag (even though it's capable) they deserve a bug-report. And should publish a new updated BIOS. They always had open ears to Linux users. It's the old linux-users desease working rather on the effects than on the impact. Nowadays I need to edit & manipulate the downloaded CD for an installation? That's possible & ends up with ISO-start in GRUB2. This is Not o.k.!
